Loved his work. Glad his personal torture is over.

No matter what your musical tastes are, there’s no denying that guy contributed some of the most memorable songs. Pretty much the soundtrack for everyone growing up in the 70s.

When one looks at the talent level of the founding eagles is is no wonder a single band was not big enough for all that talent…

Very true. I’m not a huge fan of them, but there’s no denying the talent. I think Henley is a complete dick, But years ago when “boys of summer” was huge, I saw him at Louisville gardens, it was a fantastic show!

I left for boot camp out of Indianapolis in July of 1977.
The last song I heard before boarding the plane for San Diego was Hotel California.
During a dentist visit somewhere near the middle of boot camp I sat in the dentist chair waiting on the dentist and the canned musack being piped in played Hotel California.
On the day I graduated from boot camp, I hopped into a taxi to head for the airport to come home and, you guessed it, the taxi radio played Hotel California for the first song I had heard in 13 weeks aside for the dentist visit.
